Hello lovelies, as the holidays draw closer, I love starters that taste fresh and still come together in no time. This mango-curry tartare is exactly that: fruity, spicy, with no cooking at all and a good dose of colour on the plate.
Besides the curry-mango tofu, this starter holds fresh mango, red bell pepper, spices like chilli and lime and a colourful topping of radicchio and pomegranate seeds. Simple to prepare and yet a little flavour explosion.
The mango-curry tartare is a perfect starter for a Christmas menu, because it isn't too heavy and so leaves room for further courses. All the same, its exotic touch wakes up the taste buds and makes you want more. You can vary the chilli, so the tartare is delicious for young and old alike.
